The Tragedies of Euripides

A collection of translated works from one of thethree great tragedians of classical Athens, Euripides.

Translated by Rowley Potter.

Euripides is identified with theatrical innovations that have profoundly influenced drama down to modern times, especially in the representation of traditional, mythical heroes as ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. This new approach led him to pioneer developments that later writers adapted to comedy, some of which are characteristic of romance. Yet he also became "the most tragic of poets",focusing on the inner lives and motives of his characters in a way previously unknown.

Complete in two volumes.

CONDITION

Rebound in amateur morocco bindings. Externally, both volumes are sound, although with some minor damp staining to volume one. Internally, leaves are lightly age toned, with some scattered spotting, and marginal tide marks to the rear of volume two. Overall: GOOD.

Just to confirm that the Saffron Walden Museum catalogue arrived safely this afternoon. Thank you for sending it so swiftly. I'll actually be opening the Museum over Christmas - sadly the galleries have changed a bit since this catalogue was printed.
